I'd say they got their wish with President "very fine people," who used that term to describe Nazis marching in Charlottesville.[h=1]Russian documents reveal desire to sow racial discord — and violence — in the U.S.[/h]The revelations come as U.S. intelligence agencies have warned of probable Russian meddling in the 2020 election.
LONDON — Russians who were linked to interference in the 2016 U.S. election discussed ambitious plans to stoke unrest and even violence inside the U.S. as recently as 2018, according to documents reviewed by NBC News.
The documents — communications between associates of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Kremlin-linked oligarch indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller for previous influence operations against the U.S. — laid out a new plot to manipulate and radicalize African-Americans. The plans show that Prigozhin’s circle has sought to exploit racial tensions well beyond Russia’s social media and misinformation efforts tied to the 2016 election.
The real sin is that nothing substantive is being done to stop further Russian attacks on our election system.
